Topic: Unidentified Davidson pieces (Read 2165 times)

Hi again,Help with these would be appreciated. I think the cakestand and trophy vase may be Jacobean :?: I can't find any markings on any of these pieces so would be grateful for all opinions as to the pattern/dates.

The pattern on the vase itself and the wavy top edge (ignoring the handles for a minute) actually looks like my Sowerby 2481 jug here: http://yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/displayimage.php?pos=-697 so I popped Glen's CD Book on Sowerby into the PC and found a 2481 celery vase like yours but without the handles. I'll have a trawl through the rest of the CD and see if I can match the handled one and come back on that later... unless Glen beats me to it.

A few makers copied the Chippendale-style handles as that was a very popular line so I can't see why Sowerby didn't. .
